Burl Barer lassoed me into doing some Outlaw Radio today, Saturday, June 22, 2013. 2pm California time. Burl's show is like stepping into the rodeo arena - full of wild broncs and crazy clowns. You gotta just hang on, you know it's gonna be a helluva ride!

Burl wants to talk about the Jodi Arias trial. I was at the "hearing" this week. Many have wanted to see her in stripes and chains and I was there when she arrived wearing just that.

I was also there the day Judge Sherry Stephens declared a mistrial. You can see the miserable disappointment that day on the faces of Travis Alexander's loved ones in the pool photo below. In the background, myself and InSession's Jean Casarez.

This week the siblings were not present to see Jodi arrive with a SWAT team surrounding her and her hands in cuffs. One of the things that people forget to think about is the logistical nightmare created by one of these trials for the families of those affected. Children, marriages, jobs, financial strain, all aspects of one's life are disrupted. Traveling to sit around for over an hour while the parties met in chambers and then to hear the judge utter one or two sentences from the bench would have made little sense for these brothers and sisters. But I know the sense of being gypped out of their own perfect attendance record is part of their "collateral damage" feelings of frustration and anger during their journey through the criminal justice system.

See you this afternoon on Burl's Outlaw Radio to talk about all of it more.
